One of the original bugs in Debian is fixed now. Regarding the other bug, I have [forwarded][1] your response to the original reporter, but he has not replied. So yes, I think you can close this bug.

Dear docutils developers,

I received two bug reports in Debian regarding the content of .TH macro in man pages:

First bug — https://bugs.debian.org/1016527 — asks that the value of `--date` argument be used for the third argument of `.TH`, instead of putting it on a separate line (Generated on: YYYY-MM-DD).

Second bug — https://bugs.debian.org/1018737 — asks that docutils not set fifth argument of `.TH` to empty string, but omit it completely and rely on the default value.

Please see those bugs for more detailed descriptions (and some discussion, in the first bug).
